| Source | Reid Hoffman (LinkedIn/Greylock), Sequoia Capital, YC partner advice | | Core Principle | "Investors don't fund companies—they fund narratives about the future they believe in. Your story must be inevitable and urgent." |

| Why This Matters | Data alone doesn't convince. Investors see hundreds of decks with good metrics. The story is what makes them remember you and want to be part of your future. |
